What are we learning?

Math
In math, learners will finish up estimating sums and differences. We will then move in to reviewing addition and subtraction. By the end of the week, students will practice addition and subtraction up to 100,000 using a variety of strategies including the standard algorithm.

Language Arts
In reading, we will be working on the comprehension strategy of retelling what we read. We are also working on comprehension checks and making higher level predictions. We started our Show Me Spelling program this past week and lists will soon be available on spellingcity.com for additional review.

In writing, we will be finishing up our beginning of the year writing prompt and continue with grammar talks. We are also reviewing what makes a good paragraph. 

Science
In science, learners will learn about changes in states of matter such as freezing, melting, evaporation, and condensation. We will specifically focus on evaporation and condensation through various experiments so that the students can see it first hand. We will be making observations and writing about our experiments.

Social Studies
In social studies, learners will finish up our unit on communities and cultures. They will be comparing and contrasting their culture with others in our class. Learners will also identify the basic principles of why the Constitution was created on Monday for Constitution Day.
